1 Thessalonians 5

Thank you, Lord, that I no longer live in darkness. Instead, by your grace and salvation, I am a son of light and a son of the day.

I keep watch, and I am sober. I put on the breastplate of faith and love. My mind is covered by the sure hope of salvation. I am so thankful that you, Father, did not appoint me to wrath, but instead you chose me to obtain salvation through my Lord Jesus Christ.

Today I am careful to follow you, Holy Spirit. I pursue what is good both for myself and for others. I do not render evil for evil. I warn those who are unruly. I comfort the faint-hearted. I uphold the weak, and I am patient with all.

I rejoice always. I pray without ceasing, and in everything I give thanks for I know this is your will for me. I receive with joy your Holy Spirit, and I welcome gospel preaching.

I test all things by your word, and I choose that which is good.

You, Father, the God of Peace, sanctify me completely. My whole spirit, soul, and body is preserved blameless for the coming of my Lord Jesus Christ.
